I just ordered my unit from Everglades and hope to have it here later this week. Then to find a local machine shop to turn mine down that will not break it off in me. Mark Mark: FWIW, my machinist said it was not a hard metal; and was very easy to turn down......... Hopefully your machine shop with give you a very reasonable price!

Do you like to set up the Everglades primer backer with a full shell plate? IOW, all the stations full so that you have the correct seating depth for primers? Or, am I over-thinking this? I have watched the Everglades install video......... Thanks again! I did my first one on my 1050 by itself shellplate empty. When I did my first cleaning I reset it with a full shellplate and it was about the same but I think it maybe better with the shellplate full even if it’s a little better. I set my 1100 up with the shell plate full right off the bat. If anything it doesn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to much my buddy actually put his in a drill press a filed it down and sanded it and polished it. Came out about as good as mine that was machined. Even chucking it in a drill and filing it down would do the trick just takes more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hog if you using mixed brass when you set it up just barley kiss the inside of the case and maybe back it off barley so it doesn’t jam into case on mixed brass. I made that mistake the first time i set it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made that mistake the first time i set it up. I wasn't sure about how to set this up just right; but like you thought there might be a happy medium in case I was using different brass. Right now I've got plenty of once fired Winchester that's been fully processed.......... Since I already had the 9mm Swage Setter from Ammo Brass, I decided to use that as a go-gauge for initial setup using a spent primer. After I got the shell plate full, I needed 1/4 turn on the primer punch to get an average of .005" seat depth. Once I get the Primer Slide Indexer Assembly lined out, I can get back to seeing how everything's working out............ Thanks for your help!

Chapo Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Hope to revive this thread, not sure if its too old, but saw the above and decided to take matters into my own hands and sand the dang thing. Its not machinist quality, but still fit on my 1100 fairly well and works out perfectly. Made a video about if your interested. Will post the link once the video is published on YouTube.

clw42 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I don't think they're even making these anymore. I haven't been able to find one for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get this one, it works no matter what the thickness of the brass base is. https://lvl10i.com/products/priming-system-support-die-for-super-1050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the 1050/1100 there is some variety of seating depth because of the small movement in the shell plate and tool head. The Everglades hold down works if all the brass are the same; kind of like the swage hold down rod. The spring loaded LVI10 at the primer station and the FWA hold down at the swage station both really add to the consistency of the ammo. Beside which, after spending thousands on the press and the dies, what's a few more dollars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it help prevent the shell plate from flexing or moving enough to have more consistent OAL? Not sure how much of a role it even plays in that area. Seating primers, so far, hasn't been a problem for me. Edited February 28, 2023 by clw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By holding down the brass they hold down the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually emailed Everglades and they put some in stock so I ordered one of those. For $20 shipped I figured it was worth a try. I'll have to do some work to get it to fit the 1100, but not a huge deal. If I don't like it, I'll order the Level 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
